Philadephia Show

Dean · 10-14-2004, 08:46 PM

I noticed a posting today on the way to work.
It's at the Armory in NE Philadelphia this weekend.

I see some Lugers there time to time.

I can't, for the life of me, think of any reason to go to Philadelphia unless it were to get to New Jersey. Then again, I can't think of any reason to go to New Jersey.

Tell us what it was like next week.

Forks of the Delaware show this coming weekend also. It's one of the best "collector" shows in the country. The boys from Alaska and the northwest frequently fly in for that one.

I still go to South Philadelphia (born and raised there)to visit with my Dad, 84, and still managing to take care of himself...

When I go, I don't go unarmed... and I don't go often. It just ain't the place that I grew up in anymore.

George, where is the Delaware show? Wilmington?

John, you will soon have a long barrel pistol to accompany you, GRIN!

<blockquote>quote:<hr />George, where is the Delaware show? Wilmington?<hr /></blockquote>John, it's called the "Forks of the Delaware" show, it's in Allentown, PA in the fairgrounds area.

hmm, I will be in the Philly area Thursday, Friday night and Saturday morning, but I think I fly out at 11:30...

John Sabato · 10-15-2004, 04:18 PM

Allentown is too far from Philly for you to make it Ed with that tight a schedule...

George Anderson · 10-15-2004, 04:34 PM

ED, this show is worth a stay over.

Edward Tinker · 10-15-2004, 10:15 PM

I am tempted, but already changed my flights once ($100 change fee), and just sent off for a new Weimar Police today, so can only "look"

George Anderson · 10-15-2004, 10:46 PM

Ed, if you were going to go to Allentown, I would drive the five hours to buy you a few beers.

Let me know your travel schedule. I'm about to plunge into the ugly belly of the midwest for a few weeks. I need to get in and out of Minneapolis before the snow comes.

Edward Tinker · 10-15-2004, 11:18 PM

I am flying to Minneapolis mid-november too... And I'd buy a few drinks too for you bud!
